I am so inspired by you and Ethaney’s friendship - it’s so joyful to see snippets of it online! Do you have any advice for staying close and connected with friends as adulthood and distance start to make hanging out all the time difficult? I wish I could buy a row of houses all on the same street and put my friends in them 🥲

hi ellie! it was very lucky that ethaney and i lived close enough that we could have the spontaneous hang outs that deepen a friendship. making friends as an adult is so hard. all the thinkpieces about how our generation has no third spaces or community. during the pandemic i tried some friendship apps like bumble bff and i did meet one lovely person through it. i've seen some creators online start snail mail clubs where they pair people to be friends through writing letters..idk its interesting seeing how much the internet has shaped the way we connect and think about friendship.

for staying connecting, sometimes there is a lot of power in a random "hi just thinking of u." text. even if it seems out of the blue.
